My point is even if you use r/o water (so the exact Ca, Mg content is known, zero ) you don't know what Ca or Mg level to shoot for, not to mention that the commercial nutes like GH or Botanicare's Ca and Mg content will varie so you still won't know what's in the fert solution afterall.
Based on the labels:
AN 3 part 2:1
AN Sensi in veg 7.4:1
Botanicare CNS17 Coco & Soil in veg has 7.2:1
Botanicare CNS17 HYDRO in early flo ha s 4:1
Lucas 1.8:1
(Ca:Mg ratios following the full feeding schedules)
So there's a whole range of Ca:Mg ratios.
Water with an EC between 0.5 and 1 is considered OK for hydro, it shouldn't be a problem.
Also, those "weed friendly" mfgs like GH has fertilizers tailored for hard water...
